Lack of Sex=Relationship Trouble?
I've been feeling romantically and physically neglected for quite a while now. I know every relationship goes through hot & cold phases and that it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong. But I can't help feeling super unappealing and demotivated that my boyfriend is so beyond uninterested in sex. I'm also 28 weeks pregnant and pretty awkward and unsexy in bed these days, so I guess that's definitely not helping things. It's not like he even watches porn or does anything on his own, he just has no sex drive. When we talk about it and how my needs aren't being met, he admits to not feeling in the mood ever but he doesn't seemed concerned about it at all. He knows I want more physical attention and he knows he's been disappointing me on a lot of occasions lately, and it's causing fights, but yet still nothing changes. There's no effort to be more mindful of my needs and wants in the relationship. It just feels so boring to be such a young couple and stuck in such a boring, routine rut with no romance or surprises. I know he's not the type of guy who's going to shower me with romantic gestures but I feel like it's not too much to ask for to get a little special treatment sometimes, especially since I'm growing him his child. He just gets so wrapped up in himself a lot and can be really insensitive to my feelings. But at the same time I know how hard he works to provide for me and the baby and he's really affectionate and constantly reminding me of how he loves me, so I feel like a bitch for ever pointing when I'm unhappy because I feel like I have no right to be unhappy with him like how much more can I ask of him.
I could go on and on about the times I can't stand him and the times I completely adore him but I guess long story short, I'm oftentimes questioning if I'm truly happy with him or if I'm compromising on too many of my expectations for a relationship. Something just feels missing. Is it wrong that I'm just craving a little more excitement and passion? Or am I just finding things to be unsatisfied with and looking for him to fix it all? I just really don't know how to feel about it all some days 😔
